<p>The states with the biggest manufacturing economies specialize
in different industries. In Oregon, nearly $38 billion of the
state’s $50 billion manufacturing sector came from computer and
electronic product manufacturing.<br>

<p>Oregon manufactured nearly $38 billion worth of computer and
electronic products in 2011, up from the year before, and second
in the nation. That output is behind California, but its
percentage of total GDP was 20%, surpassing by far second place
Idaho, where computer and electronic manufacturing accounts for
only about 5.8% of total output as of 2011. Recent outside
investments in the state reinforce the tech-heavy industries in
Oregon. In the first half of this year, for example, AT&T
invested nearly $80 million in its Oregon network to improve
performance for Oregon residents, according to the Portland
Business Journal."</p>

Ooops! The state referred to by the 'its' in the second sentence of
the Oregon description is Oregon, not California. Apparently, it is
time for a cup of coffee.<br>
